plug-in to controller design software such as Simulink (from Mathworks), LabVIEW (from National Instruments), Activate (from solidThinking), or custom code (MATLAB, Visual Basic, C/C++, etc.) Car manufacturers and suppliers test actual controller hardware using real-time HIL systems. Researchers and others use the CarSim math models in driving simulators, ranging from low-cost systems using game controller up to full-scale large motion simulators such as the Toyota simulator. The same technology is used in BikeSim, a program for simulating motorcycle and scooter dynamics, and TruckSim, used to simulate dynamics of commercial vehicles with dual tires, trailers, and more than two axles per unit.
